Or Canola Oil

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. The plant is a variety of rapeseed bred to have low levels of erucic acid and glucosinolates. The seeds are crushed to extract the oil, which is then refined and purified for use in food.

Manufacturers use canola oil as a cooking oil and an ingredient in many processed foods. Its neutral flavor and liquid state at room temperature make it suitable for baking, frying, and as a base for salad dressings and sauces.

Canola oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. JECFA has evaluated canola oil and established an acceptable daily intake. Some research suggests a diet rich in unsaturated fats may support heart health, though evidence is mixed on specific oils.
